Re: Can we freeze the marinade?

I imagine that you can, I have not tried it myself though. I say go ahead and try it and then report back. Cheers!

Thank you for your answer

I froze the marinade and will use it again next week.
I'll keep you posted !

Very Successful!

I made this dish for a group of friends as the appetizer of a four course dinner and was a huge success! Interestingly, without knowing the comments made here, several of the guests wanted to drink the marinade. I highly recommend this dish for anyone cooking several courses due to its simplicity and rapid prep/cooking timetable.

How much lemon?

Hi, made this last night and it was really great. I do have a question about the lemon. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of lemon juice but in the video it looks like 1/2 a lemon is used which is more like 1/8 a cup and 1/2 cup seems like a lot of lemon juice.

I shot for the middle and used 1/4 cup (so basically 1 lemon juiced) but would like to know how much should be there.

Lemon Juice

1/2 cup of lemon juice is used. We just don't always show all of the squeezing on camera. Glad you liked the recipe!

Winner all the time!

This recipe and instructions are great! My friends love it every time. When last weekend while preparing marinade I found out I did have orange marmalade I decided to use what I had on hand – strawberry preserve. Surprised? I was not sure either about using it. I took a risk and the dish did come out delicious. Although the flavor had a different note in taste, it still was fantastic. Go figure....

Way to think outside the box Faye. That's the beauty of knowing how to cook it gives you more freedom so you can have fun in the kitchen. Cheers!

Prawns with the shell on...

Going to try this recipe this weekend. I bought some very large prawns that still have the tails and partial shells on them. A good deal of meat is still exposed where the head and legs were removed so there is quite a bit of area to absorb the marinade. plan on grilling them after marinading. Should I remove the shells first? I like the idea of leaving the shell on for both presentation and it helps protect the prawn while on the grill. What are your thoughts?

RE: Prawns with Shells On...

I also like to leave the shells on but I know many people that like to remove them first as it makes eating the prawns much easier for the guests. In the end, it's really up to you. Enjoy!!!

Thanks Dawn...

I think I will be leaving the shells on. I was more concerned with the idea that they may not accept the marinade quite as well. But I will be serving the marinade as a dipping sauce on the side as well so i guess problem solved!!

Pairing

I am trying this recipe out next week...any recomendations on dishes to pair this with?

RE: Pairing Foods

Here at Rouxbe we are more about helping you with the skills and techniques behind cooking and not so much about what to serve with what. That being said, these prawns would go well with many things, rice, salad, some type of Asian inspired vegetable. Really it just depends on what sort of textures and flavors you are looking to pair with the meal. I would try maybe a nice coconut rice and maybe some baby bok choy but again, it's really up to you. Cheers!

Rubbery Prawns

Hi.
Do prawns get rubbery when they are overcooked? Or is it a symptom of cooking frozen prawns incorrectly?

RE: Rubbery Prawns

Prawns can become rubbery if they are overcooked, whether they were previously frozen or not. Cheers!

Home Run

Followed the recipe exactly. Grilled prawns on the barbecue. Huge hit with everyone. Thank you for another great recipe! Used light soy sauce. Served as an appetizer. Even though salty, worked well paired with a fruity Sauvignon Blanc.
